Uttar Pradesh is currently going through assembly elections with the counting of votes to be done on 11th March. Over the past one week, many top political leaders of the country including PM Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi, UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and BJP President Amith Shah have addressed rallies in various parts of the state. A terrorist conspiracy reported at such a crucial time is a thing of concern for both the local police as well as the anti-terrorist squad.
